John Dowd failed to prepare, debrief 10 officials who spoke with Mueller's team: Report washex.am/2QF8WdJ
"President Trump's former attorney John Dowd failed to have his team prepare and debrief at least 10 senior administration officials either before or after the were interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller's team, according to a report published Tuesday."
The report said Dowd figured since he and Mueller were both Marine Corps veterans, t"hey could reach a deal in a matter of weeks and wrap up the Russia probe quickly. That was not the case."
"Instead, Mueller dug deeper into Trump's associates over the next few months and Dowd had no idea what the probe was learning, because he did not speak to the witnesses ahead of time, and only afterward heard what Mueller had focused on and how each witness had answered."
"For example, Trump's lawyers were not fully privy to Don McGahn, an outgoing White House lawyer, being interviewed by Mueller's team for more than 30 hours, revealing a large amount of information to the investigators."
If true, this comes very close to malpractice
"Dowd resigned in March amid disagreements with Trump and was replaced with Rudy Giuliani, who then sat down with Trump for more than 20 hours to hear from his perspective what had happened during the campaign."
